Trump picks first-ever female White House chief of staff after election win
A key figure behind Trumps recent election success gets top White House job. Susie Wiles becomes first woman to take chief-of-staff role in presidential administration history
Donald Trump chose Susie Wiles as White-house chief-of-staff making her the first woman to get this top-level position (a ground-breaking appointment in US political history). The decision came right after his election win
Wiles ran a well-planned campaign that helped secure Trumps victory; her smart leadership style and no-nonsense approach made the campaign super-effective. She didnt want attention or formal titles which helped her avoid the usual campaign-team issues that happened before
The new chief-of-staff stayed away from spotlight during campaign events - she even stepped back from speaking at the victory celebration on wed morning. Her low-key strategy worked well: she managed everything behind-the-scenes and didnt take the campaign manager title which kept her safe from the usual staff turnover that happened in previous Trump campaigns
